I just spent way, way too long trying to sort this out. I am incredulous that a WPF product has an issue with binding to the view model and it remains unfixed. Here is what I did to get around the problem after hours and hours of trying figure out what was wrong in my xaml. It really never occurred to me that such basic functionality could be not working.

I have a hard time grasping how this could not be corrected ASAP... it is just such basic functionality. This is a WPF product with a main GUI element that is not bindable to the view model in the xaml. Outrageous! It is not right!

I do not know if "defect has been logged against this issue and if there is a fix available".

It is also surprising that binding does not seem to be possible custom lines or marked zones. I was further surprised there seems to be no way to bind a collection of ranges. It seems reasonable to expect more than one range.

The issues you are observing are caused by the difference between objects used for configuration and visual objects that are added to the visual tree at run time. We have identified this problem and we are taking actions to prevent such problems in our new charting solution - the RadChartView. In the chart view we are using only visual objects that work well with bindings.

Please excuse us for the caused inconvenience!

All the best,

Thanks for the follow up. I tried out the RadChartView when it was Beta and I had to many issues, perhaps many from my own lack if experience even with the basics of .NET and WPF. I had sort of forgotten about RadChartView but I think I will try it out again in hope of leveraging the more robust binding. The charting requirements here are very complex and I am pushing the limits of RadChart.

Checked out RadChartView at seems it does not yet support all the feature required here (range series, custom lines, marked zones) and I can see no information on how to combine charts of different types. Regardless, thanks for the follow up!
